BIONICSFuture is becoming Reality

BIONICS

Innovations in the fields of medicine, artificial intelligence, robotics and sensors are finally giving a new life to medical technologies and are making human enhancement a reality

Bionics, which is taking on human body dysfunctions and disabilities and, more globally, helping improve the wellness and lifespan of the world population, benefits from long-term drivers:

an ageing world population and a shortage of donated organs

major technology breakthroughs leading to an impressive product pipeline

an improving outlook for the reimbursement of bionic devices by insurers or health agencies

The investment universe encompasses nex-generation prosthetics, medical wearables and devices, surgical and medical robots, exoskeletons, 3D printing, synthetic biology and artificial intelligence all play a major role in the emergence of bionics

Declining costs and social welfare: a major catalyst for expanded health coverage

some of the technologies used will mature over the years and become less costly

a bionic device can allow people to keep working and return to work more quickly

ELDERLY POPULATION
INCREASING EXPONENTIALLY

According to the UN, the population aged 60 years or over will grow from 900M in 2015 to 1.4Bn in 2030, while the population >80 years old will grow from 125M to 201M. The bulk of the growth comes from Asia: 66% growth of people >60 years old
